“Saint Maud” Leads Nominations for London Critics’ Circle Film Awards

"Saint Maud"

“Saint Maud’s” devoted believers are spreading the good word. Ross Glass’ debut features scored the most nominations for the 41st London Critics’ Circle Film Awards. The horror-drama about a hospice nurse obsessed with saving her dying patient’s soul snagged eight nominations, including Film, Director, Screenwriter, Actress (Morfydd Clark), Supporting Actress (Jennifer Ehle), and British/Irish Film of the Year. Just last month “Saint Maud” received 17 British Independent Film Awards nods, the most nominations ever earned by a single title.

Sarah Gavron’s “Rocks,” Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland,” and Emerald Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman” are also among the nominees in the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards’ Film category and lead in nominations.

Coming-of-age drama “Rocks” received a total of six noms, including British/Irish Actress and Young British/Irish Performer for Bukky Bakray, who plays a teen abandoned by her mother in the London-set pic.

Zhao’s portrait of a modern-day nomad, “Nomadland” landed five nods, including Actress for Frances McDormand and Writer and Director for Zhao.

“Promising Young Woman,” Fennell’s darkly comic revenge thriller led by Carey Mulligan, received four nominations, including Actress for Mulligan and Breakthrough British/Irish Filmmaker for Fennell.

“Dick Johnson Is Dead” and “Time” are among the titles up for Documentary of the Year. The former, directed by Kirsten Johnson, sees the filmmaker struggling to come to terms with her father’s mortality and staging elaborate, inventive death scenes and recording them, and the latter, directed by Garret Bradley, follows Fox Rich’s fight to secure her husband’s release from prison.

Nominees in the Technical Achievement category include Jennifer Lame for editing sci-fi thriller “Tenet” and Debora Lamia and Adruitha Lee for makeup and hair in Harley Quinn pic “Birds of Prey.”

The London Critics’ Circle Film Awards will be presented virtually in early February. Head over to Deadline to check out all of the nominees.
